Lightning Ridge Black Opal
0.91ct Australian Lightning Ridge Opal 3-Stone Ring 9ct YG
Mined from the world renowned Lightning Ridge fields in New South Wales, Australian Black Opal is the most valuable and recognised variety of opal. Distinguished by its dark body tone and vibrant play of colour, it displays an extraordinary spectrum of hues, from electric blues and greens to vivid reds and violets caused by the diffraction of light through microscopic silica spheres.
Formed over 100 million years ago in ancient sandstone deposits, each gem is unique in pattern and brilliance. With limited mining and increasingly scarce production, Lightning Ridge Black Opal remains one of the rarest and most collectible gemstones, highly sought after by jewellers and connoisseurs worldwide.
